Many conversations our Pet Pros have with Pet Parents in our stores are about allergies, sensitive stomachs, or skin conditions. Now, we do have several specific foods that call out these symptoms with special formulas, however, most of the time a Limited Ingredient Diet or LID can solve these issues and increase your dog or cat's overall health and longevity.
Why LID Food? Limited ingredient recipes are specially crafted with fewer ingredients to help keep things simple and natural. This means your dog gets the high-quality nutrition they need without unnecessary fillers or potential allergens that can upset their system.
Here’s why switching to limited ingredient food can make a significant difference:
- Perfect for Dogs with Allergies: Does your dog suffer from itchy skin, digestive issues, or other allergy symptoms? Limited ingredient food helps you pinpoint the exact cause of these problems by eliminating common allergens like grains, dairy, or artificial additives. With fewer ingredients, it’s easier to avoid triggers and support a happier, healthier dog!
- Gentle on Digestion: A simplified ingredient list makes it easier for dogs to digest their meals—especially those with sensitive stomachs. By focusing on high-quality proteins and whole ingredients, your dog gets essential nutrients without the risk of discomfort or digestive upset.
- Naturally Nutritious: Limited ingredient diets focus on real, wholesome ingredients like high-quality meats, vegetables, and healthy fats. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your dog is getting the nutrition they need without the unnecessary extras.
- Low Glycemic Carbs: LID formulas use ingredients such as chickpeas and oats which are low-glycemic and provide beneficial dietary fiber. Because of this, LID formulas are natural weight control formulas for dogs and cats.
